Journal ArticleDOI
The link between schizophrenia and substance use disorder: A unifying hypothesis
TL;DR: A unifying hypothesis is proposed that combines recent evidence from epidemiological and genetic association studies with brain imaging and pre-clinical studies to provide an updated formulation regarding the basis of substance use in patients with schizophrenia and suggests that the genetic determinants of risk for schizophrenia make patients vulnerable to substance use.
Book ChapterDOI
Unique Effects of Clozapine: A Pharmacological Perspective.
TL;DR: It is suggested, from animal studies, that clozapine's apparent ability to limit substance use may occur through its actions as a weak dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, a potent norepinephrine α-2 receptors antagonist and a nore Alpinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rat brain CYP2B-enzymatic activation of chlorpyrifos to the oxon mediates cholinergic neurotoxicity.
TL;DR: Rat brain CYP2B contributes significantly to chlorpyrifos's neurotoxic effects andTherapeutic inhibition of brain CYp2B could also be explored as a treatment for exposure to CYP1B-activated neurotoxins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent neurodevelopment and substance use: Receptor expression and behavioral consequences
TL;DR: The current review provides an in-depth overview and update of the developmental changes in neurotransmission during adolescence, as well as the impact of drug exposure during this neurodevelopmental window.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drug metabolism within the brain changes drug response: selective manipulation of brain CYP2B alters propofol effects.
TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that drug metabolism by a CYP within the brain, illustrated using CYP2B and the anesthetic propofol, can meaningfully alter the pharmacological response to a CNS acting drug.
